Eeating Railroad Corporation.

How strange it is that to the average
man there is such keen enjoyment in beat
ing railroad corporation out of few
cents A man, or woman, either, will
spend money for all sorts of idle fooleries,
for candies, superfluous millinery, neck
ties and oyster stewS; they will not shrink
at a quarter for bananas, and will rush
the season for strawberries, but the
moment the gentle conductor demands
full fare for their 13-year-old girl or a half
fare for their youngest boy, how injured
they feel What an indignity it is, and
how the insult creeps through all their
sluggish blood like swift fire through
prairie grasses, when they have to pay
their fare after having been blessed with
q free pass for years, or give reason why
they have not supplied themselves, after
many days, with a monthly ticket
Absolutely, l have witnessed more mig
garGliness and petty meanness and absO-
lutte dishonesty among so called reputable
people in the matter of railroad tickets
than Ike Ia think Of | have seen ele-
gantly dressed mothers bicker over the
question of n child's age, dreading to spend
the few necessary cents for ticket,
which same amount they would willingly
expend in unhealthy Indulgence of the
child's appetite. l have heard parents
tell their children to ''sit down low and
make themselves as small rs possible''
just to deceive the conductor and beat a
fare out OF the road.-Amber in Chicago

The Siamese War

In the simplicity of its doctoring methods
few nations are much in advance of the
Siamese. A great number of diseases are
popularity supposed to be the result of
spirit possession. The doctor in charge of
q case of this kind ties string around the
room in view Of the patient, decorates It
with pieces of paper containing mysterious
hieroglyphics, and then, brandishing a
knife, commands the spirit to come out
Clay images are also used for the spirits
to enter, and when satisfied that they have
done so, the images are wheeled out of
town upon carts. When the patient Is
convinced that tho evil spirit has left his

Weather proverbs relating to the moon
are thus given by the Boston Journal,
When the moon is visible in the day
time, the days are relatively cool.
In western Kansas it is said that when
the moon is near the full it never storms,
and the sailors say the full moon eats
clouds.
Ii the full moon rises clear, expect fine
weather
A large ring around the moon and low
clouds indicate rain in twenty-four hours !;

If the full moon rise pale, expect rain.
A red moon indicates wind.
If on her cheeks you see the maiden's blush,
The rudy moon foreshows the winds VIII

expected to scud away the bad weather.
In the old of the moon a cloudy morn

A Russian Droshka.

The Russian embassy has among lis
paraphernalia a genuine droshka, which
vehicle is attracting much attention,
says Washington letter TO the New
York Sun. 1t is a ridiculous little con
Germ, something like a child's phaton
without canopy. The seats are two in
number, one for the driver and one for
the occupant, neither being more than
wide enough for one person. 1t is low,
very low, not more than two feet from
the ground The wheels have spokes of
iron wire, like bicycle On the front
seat sits an immense Cossack, weighing
at least 800 pounds, with great yellow
beard and red cheeks and a plain Rus
sian square-topped cap, and on the rear
Seat is a very small Russian diplomat
The vehicle is drawn by an enormous
long-tailed stallion, and the effect when
you stand in front is that of frantic
horse, all hair and legs Upon the whole,
it is a very absurd affair, though doubt
less the jeunesse doree Will initiate the
thing very soon.

A Kangaroo HINT.

When sighting the kangaroo, says
letter from Melbourne, Australia, to the
Omaha Herald, it is customary for the
hunter to toot his horn, which the acute
ear Of the animal understands, and as the
old imam kangaroo gathers his flock and
drives them before him, all on the hop,
the fun commences. Pistols are the arms
used, and the hunter must get in his
work before the animals reach the
thickets. 1t may be fun and easy work
for hurdle racers and kangaroos to jump
fallen bitches and fences, but it takes
the average tourist all lis time to keep in
the saddle, and the usual thing Is, no
kangaroo. During the chase my horse
carromed on a stump, and as the "old
man. kangaroo Topped over the fence
forty rods away l gave him parting
shot, and had the pleasure of seeing u
piece OF bark fall twenty feet from a
neighboring blue gum. Three of the
animals were killed, and to make our
hunt complete, of course, their tails had
to be chopped off and converted into
soup.

The Canned Soup Business.

"There are only two or three houses in
the country that make a speciality of
canned soups" said a manufacturer of
the article to representative of the New
York Commercial Advertiser. "These
soups are known all over the world. They
are prepared in the most careful manner.
The cans arc Theoretically sealed, and the
soups are warranted not to spoil in the
torrid zone or the Arctic circle. All that
is necessary is to open the can and place
the soup on the fire. 1t does not need to
be cooked, merely heated through. 1t
needs no seasoning. The required con
diments are put III when the soups made
in the great caldrons of the mandatory.
Your soup sufficiently heated, is removed
from the fire, placed in the tureen-and
there you areI
"What quantity of these soups is sold
annuallyin asked the reporter.
'sWhat quantityl 1t is almost beyond
computation Enough to float the Great
Eastern; to fill the Erie canal; to float
half dozen small cities. Last year this
house made alone more than 1, 700, 900
gallons of it. The total soup production
of the country-I mean canned soups, of
course-runs up into the tens of millions.
What kinds of soups are made in this
forml" he continued, repeating another
question by the reporter. every soup
known to modern or ancient culinary
artn
Then the manufacturer ratified off long
list of soups so rapidly, and containingso
many names pronounceable only by
canned goods factory managers and Par
isian chefs, that but a few of the more
familiar of them could be remembered.
These include tomato, mock turtle, OK
tail, julienne, pea, beef, chicken, maca-
roni, vernicelli, consomme, okra or gum
DO, mulligatawney, green turtle and ter
rapin.
The soups are put in quart cans. They
cost the consumer about thirty cents a
quart for the ordinary soups, or $3.50 a
dozen cans, and from that to seventy
cents quart, or IS dozen, for the more
delicate, such as terrapin, for instance
Are these soups made Of the best materi-
alsl Indeed they arc All the canned
soups are made from exactly what their
names imply. Soup labeled tomato is
made from tomatoes, not from red brick
dust; beef soup from genuine beef, ter
rapin from the real article, and as mich
care and cleanliness and regard for the
proper mixture and cooking of these
soups are observed as in any kitchen,
private or public"

A Leper Colony.

Touching at Molokai, we were afforded
an excellent opportunity for inspecting
the leper colony established there. Many
Of these unfortunates were found TO be in
the last stages Of the disease. The sight
OF these poor creatures would serve 10 eN-
cite the curiosity of only the most morbid
nature. Their cheerfulness, even when
rendered incapable of locomotion by the
raT1scs Of the disease, is somewhat re-
markable, while their number includes
many Europeans, the Chinese being by
far IN excess Of all other nations.
The disease is said TO be rather constit-
uent in character than the result of
cutaneous incubation, as might be CT
roncously supposed. Science, however,
has not been enabled TO do much toward
relieving the sulIerings Of these poor poo
people, although their wants appeared to
be generously provided for through the
hberality of the government and that Of
foreign residents. The disease is contag-
Ious, while the hopeless misery OF many
of its victims in Hawaii would Justly OK
cite the pity of any beholder. One fca-
ture OF the disease as explained by my in
formant is the fact that there arc many
persons now living at Molokai who for
years prior to their arrival there rs Pc
ticnts had been living in various parts Of
the kingdom in utter ignorance Of the ap-
palling fact that leprosy was insidiously
attacking the system.
One instance in point was that OF an
aged Catholic priest, who discovered his
dcplorablc condition only after an acct
dental breaking of lighted lamp. It
followed in his case that while removing
some Of the hot fragments in his effort 10
prevent any further damage, he found
that he had lost the sense Of feeling in
his right hand. Instantly diyining that
he was afflicted with the dread malady,
he heroically sought refuge among others
at the leper settlement on Molokai, where
l believe he died several years since -
